State govt to launch massive anti-drug campaign shorty: Himachal CM Sukhu
Shimla (Himachal) [India], June 30 (ANI): In a bid to raise awareness against drug abuse, the Himachal Pradesh Police Department organised the 12th State Police Half Marathon in Shimla, an official statement said. Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Sunday felicitated the winners of the marathon, which featured participation in men's, women's, and senior citizens' categories. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, the Chief Minister expressed serious concern over the involvement of government employees in drug-related activities. He said that strict action has already been taken against 80 government employees facing legal proceedings so far. He said even police personnel have been found involved in drug trafficking activities and added that the state government is considering amending the Police Manual to ensure greater accountability within the force, the release added. The Chief Minister said that the government is preparing to launch a large-scale anti-drug campaign in the near future. 'Mapping is being conducted at the panchayat ward level to facilitate targeted intervention,' he stated. The government is also forming a Special Task Force to clamp down on drug trafficking and recruitment process is already underway. Additionally, 500 new posts will be filled in the Police department to strengthen enforcement efforts, he added. 'Youth are the future of our nation, and protecting them from the menace of drugs is a collective responsibility,' said the Chief Minister, reiterating the government's policy of zero tolerance towards drug abuse. The CM stated that the state is working on a two-pronged strategy, strict enforcement and a sensitive approach towards victims. The present government has implemented the PIT-NDPS Act, which was not enforced during the previous BJP government's five-year tenure. Under this Act, 40 detention orders have been approved, 36 of which were issued this year. The government has also demolished properties belonging to seven drug peddlers and is actively pursuing action against others, he added. Furthermore, CM Sukhu said the state has passed the HP Anti-Drugs Act, which distinguishes between offenders and victims. The law adopts a rehabilitative approach towards drug users, aiming to bring them back into the mainstream of society. He urged parents to maintain open communication with their children and educate them about the harmful effects of drugs. He called upon all sections of society to actively participate in the anti-drug campaign to safeguard the future of the youth, the statement said. As part of the awareness drive, the Chief Minister also released a special song of 'Harmony of the Pines' dedicated to the anti-drug campaign. MLA Harish Janartha, Mayor Surender Chauhan, Principal Media Advisor to the CM Naresh Chauhan, Additional Chief Secretary KK Pant, DGP Ashok Tiwari, senior police officers and other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.

Himachal Pradesh government takes strict action against drug related activities among employees and launches anti drug campaign
Shimla: Himachal Pradesh chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Sunday sounded the alarm over the growing nexus between drug traffickers and govt staff, revealing that more than 80 state employees — including police officers — face legal proceedings for drug-related offences. S peaking at the 12th HP Police Half Marathon in Shimla, Sukhu said the state govt was preparing a large-scale anti-drug operation, including the possible amendment of the police manual to enhance accountability within the force. "Even those expected to uphold the law are falling prey to the drug menace," the CM said. "We are mapping the problem down to the panchayat ward level to carry out targeted interventions." Sukhu announced that the state will raise a special task force to intensify the crackdown, with recruitment in progress already. As part of the effort, 500 new police posts will be created to bolster enforcement. He also underscored a dual strategy combining strict law enforcement with a compassionate approach towards drug victims. The govt has invoked the PIT-NDPS Act — which Sukhu claimed had remained dormant under the previous BJP govt — to detain habitual offenders. Of the 40 preventive detention orders approved under the Act, 36 were issued this year. In a further sign of zero-tolerance, the state has demolished properties of seven convicted drug peddlers and is pursuing similar action against others. During the event, the CM also felicitated winners across various categories of the half marathon, including men's, women's, and senior citizens aged 75 and above. MSID:: 122143816 413 |
